It’s better to give than to receive nga naman daw. Pero siguro if you do good things, may babalik din sayo na grasya! At dahil diyan, nagpadala daw ang ninong ko from L.A ng 3k for me..=) Yey!
I have received some monetary gifts din from sa xmas party ng group namin and some more from my boss. Kaya nga i feel very fortunate kahit na etong year na to sobrang taghirap ako. Bumawi naman bago magsara ang taon. =) Kaya in return, i’m sharing din.
That’s the Christmas spirit… oha! =)
i can feel it..
Monday, December 22, 2008ngayon masasabi ko na.. it’s Christmas time na talaga! =)
last week, medyo parang gloomy pa at di ko pa pa ramdam yung christmas spirit. dami ko kasi iniisip nun. halos wala pa ako nabibili na pangregalo..=(
kahapon lang talaga ako nakapag-xmas shopping. kasama ko si rye, sila ate xtin & kuya jr, si cathy at shempre si ben-ben!
mostly yung napamili ko is for giving… (mas masarap pala yung feeling na ikaw yung nagbibigay). kahit konti lang ang napamili ko para sa sarili ko, ang sarap nung idea na nakapagbigay ako sa mga taong mahal ko at importante sakin.
halos lahat ng nakalagay sa wishlist ko eh natupad! hmm except dun sa dvd player.. nung unang 13th month pa lang gusto ko na bilin kaso medyo naging hesitant si tatay eh. But i’m still thinking to buy it.. pero siguro next year na.
ang sarappppppppppppp ng feeling.. hehehe!
then ngayong umaga pagdating ko sa office, may 2 gift na sa table ko. isa galing kay tin, parang cardholder..=) thank you tin! yung isa ballpen.. hehe..dami ko na ballpen!
then eto ang nakakatuwa, pagbalik ko galing pantry, meron ulet isang gift. galing naman kay sir tony, picture frame na “Gawang Kamay sa Kahoy, Paete, Laguna”. Nakakatuwa lang kasi yun ang mga gusto kong gift, unique.. kasi especialty yun sa probinsya nila sir Tony. Maraming “THANK YOU PO”…
Ang saya.. the spirit of Christmas.. =)
Merry Christmas po sa lahat!
tulips and monthsary
Thursday, December 18, 2008last valentine’s day nakareceive ako ng red tulips from Rye and kahapon sa aming 1 year and 1 monthsary binigyan nya naman ako ng 3 orange/yellow tulips. sweeeet and unexpected.. namiss ko yun sa kanya. =)
niresearch ko na din kung anong history at symbolism ng tulips…
THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF TULIP
Originally from Persia and Turkey, tulips were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where they got their common name from the Turkish word for gauze (with which turbans were wrapped) - reflecting the turban-like appearance of a tulip in full bloom. By the 17th century, the popularity of tulips, particularly in the Netherlands, became so great that the price of a single bulb soared to new heights, causing markets to crash and putting into motion “tulip mania.”
Although different tulip colors carry distinct meanings - yellow tulips symbolizing cheerful thoughts, white conveying forgiveness and purple representing royalty - a Turkish legend may be responsible for the red tulip’s symbolism. The story goes that a prince named Farhad was love struck by a maiden named Shirin. When Farhad learned that Shirin had been killed, he was so overcome with grief that he killed himself - riding his horse over the edge of a cliff. It’s said that a scarlet tulip sprang up from each droplet of his blood, giving the red tulip the meaning “perfect love.” 
The 11th wedding anniversary flower, it’s said that the tulip’s velvety black center represents a lover’s heart, darkened by the heat of passion. With the power to rival roses in their red variety and the sweet charm to express simple joy when yellow, it’s no wonder that in addition to all its other symbolism, in the language of flowers, a tulip bouquet represents elegance and grace.
finally!
hehehe..ang daming naintriga sa status message ko sa YM kanina.. kasi sabi ko finally! tapos yung avatar ko eh yung Sony Ericson Xperia X1! =)
actually kaya yun ang status message ko kasi:
1. finally! may commision na DAW bukas…
2. finally! nakapag-open nako ng savings account para sa SAVINGS namin ni Rye.
3. finally! na-experience ko na gamitin yung X1..pero siyempre hindi sakin na X1 yun. sa isang manager namin dito sa office. =p Sosy.. meron na agad kakalabas lang nun dito eh.
dati, yung Sony Ericsson P1i yung gusto kong fone. Pero end of sale na ata yun saka mejo luma na ang design. Nung nagpagawa si rye ng Sony Ericson C702 niya sa Digital Exchange few weeks ago. Nakita ko yung dummy fone ng X1. And sobrang nagustuhan ko na siya, kaya lang nung tinanong ko yung kung magkano.. more than 40k daw! OMG! Luxury item to.. kaya hanggang pangarap muna yung X1 sakin. Di naman siya priority, saka wala akong ganong pera sa ngayon. =(
And ang last na finally ko…
4. finally! mapapaltan na yung company fone namin by next year, sana saktong sa January! Para di naman ako mashadong malungkot kasi di ko talaga kayang bilin yung X1 eh. Hehehe. =)

“Tita Rit! Tita Rit! Meme na..Tita Rit! Meme na..Ben-ben…”
“Tita Rit” ang tawag sakin ni Ben kasi di pa niya mabigkas yung “s”… =)
Si Ben (Rye’s nephew) ay naoperahan last December 9 para ma-patch yung hole sa heart niya. VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) ang medical term for his ailment.
Lagi ko siya nakakabonding whenever I go to their house. We play cars na gusto nya palagi nakaline-up kasi traffic daw. We play basketball. He loves to watch Dora & Diego on my laptop.
Days before na ma-admit siya for his operation, I remember na he wants to hold my hand pa habang kumakain kami. Sobrang sweet ng bata…
Makulit, malikot kaya di mo iisipin na may VSD siya. Unlike ng mga ibang batang nakasabay niya sa room dun sa Heart Center. Sobrang pale nila, payat at kitang-kita mo na naghihina. =(
Pero iba si Ben, he’s a tough kid. And nakita namin yan after his successful operation..mabilis ang recovery ng bata. Thank God!
I love Ben, and I know he loves me too. =) Hinahanap nga daw ako minsan eh.. deep inside, sobrang touched talaga ako! Kasi di nya nakakalimutan si Tita Rit nya.. =)
In behalf of the Matusalem & Balbastro family, I would like to thank everyone who prayed and gave support for Ben-ben!
Special thanks to my dear friends & colleagues who’ve shared their blessings…
